The Font menu lists all fonts available on your system. You can also choose fonts from the
Style Palette. For more information, see “Font Styles” on page 454.

On Windows systems, the Font menu is a scrolling list.
To apply styles:
1. Select a font from the Font menu. Use the Font buttons to browse through the list of
available fonts. You can also view thumbnails of all fonts on your system in the Style
Palette—see “Font Styles” on page 454.
2. Select a size from the Font Size menu or type a custom font size. The Font Size menu
retains the three most recently used custom font sizes.
3. Select the Fixed Width option to force the selected text spacing to be the same even if
the letters change.
4. Click the Size button to increase or decrease the scale by 10 points.
This is useful if your text contains multiple font sizes and you want to scale all sizes up
or down equally. The Size buttons let you scale without changing the size of each
individual character.
n
Alt-click the Size button to scale the size of the text characters by an integer of one. Shift-
click the Size button to scale the size of the text characters by an integer of 100.
5. To change the text style, select the characters you want to change.
6. Click one style button—see “Style Tab” on page 482.
n
Certain styles (such as Italic) do not work if the selected font does not include these styles.
This is particularly true of symbol, dingbat, and Kanji fonts.
7. Click again to remove the style.
8. To align text horizontally, click a Justification button.
